Dining Outdoors in Las Vegas
You might have a misconception about eating outside in Las Vegas. It is warm but don’t think that an outdoor meal is uncomfortable. In fact, after you sit outside you’ll want to have every meal out in the open. In the middle of summer, cool mist and cold drinks keep the temperature down. In Las Vegas, eating al fresco just adds to the atmosphere.
